Thoughts on Austin? Well, so far we haven’t been to a single bar that doesn’t have wifi. We may have to move here. If you’re stuck for caffeine and connectivity, Phone Scoop says that T-Mobile will be offering free Wifi to customers on the weekend (so any Starbucks will do). Indie kids should check out Austin Java. If you’re staying for the music festival, or just want to watch from the sidelines, Thomas Hawk offers up a list of top music bloggers to keep an eye on. And finally, if you’re looking for me, feel free to get in touch. This is my second SXSW and I’m staying with a local, so I’m happy to serve as a guide of sorts. Chances are that I’ll be at every event that offers free beer.
